Avoid Surprise Charges After Your PlayStation Plus Free Trial
Like most gaming services, a PlayStation Plus free trial (if you're on one) is designed to convert into a paid subscription automatically unless you cancel before it ends — that's the default on almost every subscription trial, not something specific to PlayStation Plus. The trick is simply not forgetting.
How to not get caught out
- 1Note the exact trial-end date the moment you sign up — it's usually shown on the confirmation screen or email, and it's easy to lose track of once a few weeks pass.
- 2Set a reminder a few days before, not on the last day — that gives you a buffer to actually decide and act, rather than discovering it's already converted to paid.
- 3Check your account/billing settings for PlayStation Plus to confirm whether you're currently on a trial and when it converts — don't rely on memory alone.
- 4If you decide not to keep it, cancel through the same place you signed up — an app store subscription needs to be cancelled from the app store, not from within the PlayStation Plus app itself. See our full cancellation guide for PlayStation Plus.
Let Subdek remember the trial-end date for you
Add PlayStation Plus to Subdek with its trial-end (or renewal) date, and you'll get a reminder before it quietly becomes a paid subscription — across every trial and subscription you're juggling, not just this one.
